Riding Mountain National Park in Wasagaming will be seeing some upgrades beginning this month.

The work is part of the largest infrastructure plan in the history of Parks Canada.

The renovations that’ll be done include re-designing the visitor service reception area for better customer service and visitor flow, a Parks Canada merchandise store, improved accessibility to the building and the grounds, inclusive washroom facilities, updated audiovisual equipment, improvements to the building to easily host events, repairs and upgrades to the roof, and geothermal heating and cooling. 

Parks Canada claims that the visitor center hasn’t had any upgrades in over 25 years.

The government says that the renovations will ensure a safe and meaningful experience to visitors.

Construction may extend into the spring of 2020 since it’s weather dependant, but there will be an alternate building open for visitor services and programming.
